History SFDebris / TropesGToL

** Lampshades how by the ''Voyager'' era of Trek, the [[ScienceHero scientifically-minded]], [[MarySueTopia enlightened]] crews of Federation starships immediately respond to pretty much every dangerous spacial anomaly they encounter by ''[[FiveRoundsRapid shooting]]'' them.

'''George Lucas:''' Yeah, yeah, glad to see you're putting it to good use. We were hoping to use it to realize concepts never achievable on film, you make friggin' [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Babes in Toyland]] and [[WesternAnimation/ABugsLife punk some ants]]. What do you want?\\

* GoodOlBoy: He interprets Trip Trucker as a stereotypical DeepSouth redneck turned UpToEleven.

* InternalRetcon: Believes Janeway in "Latent Image" ordering all evidence of Ensign Jetal ''erased from existence'' actually makers her ''[[UpToEleven crazier]]'' than his parody of her.

* GagCensor: ''''I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT BOOBS ARE AWESOME'''

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Pulaski's insistence on mispronouncing "Day-ta" as "Da-tuh". Chuck notes this is akin to calling the ship the ''USS Enter-prez-say''.
** He's infuriated with the stories that Stuart Baird kept mispronouncing Levar Burton's name on the set of ''Nemesis'', especially since Burton was far more qualified to direct the movie than him.
** Pokes fun at the early attempts to highlight Chakotay as a Native American with an ethnic pronunciation of his name.
--->'''Torres:''' I've never found your twisted sense of humour funny, CHA-kot-tay.\\
'''Chuck:''' Did she just call him "Chocolate Day"?
** In his review of ''Series/{{Threshold}}'', he explained how you pronounce ''niche'' in American English. And if some biche doesn't like it, they should complain somewhere else.
** He spends the first quarter of the review of "[[WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries The Pirates of Orion]]" discussing where the odd pronunciation of "Orion" in the episode came from (for unknown reasons they used the non-English pronunciation "OR-ee-un" instead of the standard English "or-EYE-un"), with a callback to the "niche" conundrum mentioned above.

* InternalRetcon: Believes Janeway in "Latent Image" ordering all evidence of Ensign Jetal ''erased from existence'' actually makers her ''[[UpToEleven crazier]]'' than his parody of her.
** After the infamous dune-buggy sequence in ''Nemesis'', he believes that Picard frequently doctors his official Log entries so that he can continue to make [[PatrickStewartSpeech long-winded speeches]] about the sanctity of the Prime Directive, whilst secretly having Worf "[[DrivesLikeCrazy pick dead bits of alien]] [[CarFu out of his grill]]".

** In "Equinox", calls out the ''Voyager'' crew for acting morally superior to the ''Equinox'' crew, when they don't realise how lucky they are to have been living on the ''USS ResetButton'' all this time, instead of the ''USS Voyager... [[RealityEnsues With Actual Consequences]]''.

** When giving his score for "11001001", the text below the score is the hexadecimal for; "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

* ItWasADarkAndStormyNight: Referenced in his review of ''TheXFiles'' episode "Our Town", where he notes:

** [[{{Film/TheLordOfTheRings}} One does not simply walk into VOY without rum.]] ''*sound of clinking ice*'' ("The Disease")

** In a Meta example, Chuck specifically played the main character of the first KnightsOfTheOldRepublic game as an ends justifying the means Grey Jedi, despite the fact that the game's MoralityMeter is set up to reward people taking one side of the force over the other.

* KarmaHoudini: In his review of SG1's ''Emancipation'', Chuck loses it when it's shown that Apu, the boy who sold Carter, someone who saved him, into slavery for a bag of gold (after his initial reason, to save the woman he loved failed) gets off not only scott free but ALSO gets his happy resolution.

* LesYayShipping: In his review of the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Gridlock" he mentions that, as far as he's concerned, Nyssa and Tegan are the first homosexual couple in ''DW'' history. He considers them having sex for the first time (in FanFic) equally as groundbreaking and important as the Face of Boe's final words to the Doctor. [[invoked]]

* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: Virtually all of his episodes that were taken down from YouTube and reuploaded to Blip were re-recorded, usually with much better sound quality (because he has a better mic), though most were also re-written to varying extents. Occasionally, fans will remark that they preferred his original delivery of a given joke.

** During the ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfKorra'' review, Chuck made a point of refusing to use "[[PortmanteauCoupleName Zutara]]" because he hates combining the names of characters in general. Well, during the exact same video, he illustrates his level of engagement with the character of Mako, by calling him "[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Commander Makotay]]." Nicely played. He also did it in another review when Janeway created "Kes-kotay," but this one is less hypocritical, as fused-name entities ("Tuvix") had previously appeared in Voyager.

* LogicBomb: Tried researching to see if Lieutenants are actually allowed to give orders to a Lt. Commander. But the question was so nonsensical, "Website/{{Google}} justs breaks and starts showing pictures of porn." (''Insurrection'')

* SugarWiki/GushingAboutCharactersYouLike: Has a tendency to do this with '''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe THE]]''' Sisko. Generally, he gushes over characters he finds well-written and/or well-acted.
** In earlier reviews, he had a minor tendency to do this with The Doctor, though it was usually because he was the EnsembleDarkHorse of the Voyager crew.
** Seems to be heading in this direction with Scorpius. 'Imagine Spock if were a villain; sprinkle with some charisma and cunning, add a dash of [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Admiral Thrawn]]...'
** Because Seska calls Janeway a total incompetent to her face, wants to forge alliances in order to protect themselves and actively screws with Neelix's head, this makes her most in line with his way of thinking.
---> '''Chuck:''' I think I may be in love.
** [[invoked]]In his re-upload of ''In the Pale Moonlight'', he [[FandomNod acknowledges]] that he loves making [[MemeticBadass Sisko is a badass]] jokes.
** His opinion of Jun from Avatar: The Last Airbender. She's only in two episodes, but according to Chuck: She's hot, she's flexable, she uses a whip... and the clincher: Voiced by Jennifer Hale. He sums up his description of her with "Marry Me, Jun."
** Not gushing, exactly, but it's hard not to notice that, apart from the pilot episode, his every review of [[Series/StargateAtlantis Stargate Atlantis]] has been a [=McKay=]-centric one.
* GushingAboutShowsYouLike: His ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' review eventually devolved into this, as he admitted in the review itself.

* GushingAboutCharactersYouLike: Has a tendency to do this with '''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe THE]]''' Sisko. Generally, he gushes over characters he finds well-written and/or well-acted.

* InsistentTerminology: Any time that a season seven of TNG is reviewed, he mentions that it was the season that "[The Creative Staff] ran out of ideas."
** When Varrick from ''The Legend of Korra'' is brought up, he always adds "Because Varrick is awesome."

** In "Booby Trap", Picard asks Riker if he's ever fantasized about bottled ships. Chuck retorts that he's crawled inside ''enough'' bottles thanks to "Prophet in Lace."

** ''TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'': "The only reason this movie is not a sack of shit is because actual sacks of shit protested that this film would be harmful to their image."

** Not gushing, exactly, but it's hard not to notice that, apart from the pilot episode, his every review of [[Series/StargateAtlantis Stargate Atlantis]] has been a McKay-centric one.
